Mr. Bennett gets a suite “high on a hill”

When Tony Bennet took the stage at the Fairmont Hotel’s Venetian Room and sang “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” for the first time, the Golden Gate Bridge had just celebrated its 25th anniversary.

Now that the bridge is marking the ripe old age of 75, the Fairmont is dedicating the sprawling Diplomatic Suite to Bennett, a guy who’s probably done more for in-bound travel than Fisherman’s Wharf and Coit Tower combined.

Starting May 27 (the bridge anniversary), guests can check into the Tony Bennett Suite on the 22nd floor, which comes with champagne, dessert and a box set of Bennett’s CDs.

Based on what we know of the room, here are the 5 top reasons the suite qualifies to represent Mr. Bennett and the song:

3. It’s “above the blue and windy sea.” Even with the 16-foot variable in the height of the Golden Gate Bridge deck (yes, it can drop by as much as 10.8 feet), the Bennett Suite is high enough to see through the gate to the ocean. (Frankly, this should be “blue and windy bay,” but the bay is actually kind of green and “bay” doesn’t rhymn with “me.”)

4. Because of the hotel’s position bordering both Powell and California streets, it’s a good bet the suite has a view of both lines of where “little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.”

5. Hey, if Tony likes the suite, that’s good enough for me.

Before you reach for the phone, be aware the Tony Bennett Suite at the Fairmont will set you back a cool 5 grand ($4,999) per night. Hard to beat that view, though.
